A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clearly modulated stroke contrast. Curves are smooth and well controlled, with a slightly calligraphic stress that shows in rounded letters and the tapered joins. Proportions feel balanced and text-forward: capitals are sturdy without being wide, while lowercase forms keep compact counters and a steady rhythm. Terminals and serifs are neatly finished, giving the face a clean, composed texture in paragraph settings.
Well suited for extended reading in books, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where a stable text rhythm matters. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a classic, authoritative voice is desired, pairing comfortably with restrained layouts and traditional typographic systems.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking established publishing and institutional typography. It reads as confident and proper rather than playful, with a quietly elegant formality suited to serious content.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes clarity and a familiar reading experience. Its controlled contrast and restrained detailing suggest a focus on versatility in publishing contexts rather than overt display styling.
The numerals share the same contrast and serif treatment as the letters, producing a consistent color in mixed text. Shapes like the two-storey “g” and the strong, bracketed feet contribute to a familiar book-type feel, while the sharp finishing details keep it from looking soft or overly rounded.
